FTP Giving 10 Million to anyone who wins WSOP through them

Full Tilt Poker is giving anyone who qualifies through their site and plays with their clothes an extra 10 million if they win the WSOP. I thought this was amazing.

Just one more thing that is not good for whatever integrity the game has left...

Kinda gives you an idea as to just how much the industry values the exposure/advertisement of a WSOP champ for customer recruitment.

It would have been more +EV for FTP had they made this announcement before WSOP satellites began.

A site like FTP or Party would get huuuuge advertisement benefits from future commercials and coverage if one of their players won the WSOP main event.

They actually did. I'm on their mailing list and got this over a month ago.

They didn't do a good job, because I have an account there and heard nothing.

They should have made it a part of their advertisements...

It's on every email I've gotten from them, as well as running on the banner on the main screen.

Imagine its the final table. Imagine the question that comes up; anybody qualify thru FT? Good, lets figure out how you can win so we can split an extra $10M.

Making deals is a part of tournament poker. If the people at the final table *openly* make a business decision that will make them all millions of dollars each I don't see how that shows a lack of integrity.
